Family Advisory Services Team

The Family Advisory Services Team provides expert advice and assistance to individuals and families dealing with life changing situations. Situations such as a family member's decision to move to assisted living, or divorce, the death of a spouse or the onset of a debilitating medical condition may bring about the need for services and advice from experts in the legal, real estate, financial and family care fields. You or a member of your family may need assistance with planning for elder care, investment management, real estate management, financial planning, or estate planning and guardianship.

Individuals or their families are often faced with making difficult decisions regarding long-term care, financial security and future living arrangements without the benefit of any prior planning. While there are many issues that should be addressed before these decisions are made, many families are not aware of them.

Family Advisory Services Team assists families and individuals by coordinating the expertise of professionals in the legal, real estate, and financial fields to deal with these issues. These professionals have extensive experience handling the various issues relating to these situations and can handle immediate situations, as well as provide advice and counseling on long range planning.

The services provided by the Family Advisory Services Team may assist clients in dealing with issues which, while unavoidable, frequently place an emotional strain on family relationships.
